Proto-Indo-European Etyma

13. Quantity & Number

13.19. Crowd, Multitude

This page lists Proto-Indo-European lexical entries (PIE etyma) drawn from Julius
Pokorny's Indogermanisches etymologisches Wörterbuch (2 vols,
1959-69) assigned to the semantic fieldQuantity & Number, subcategory 13.19. Crowd, Multitude. Category numbers are as defined by Carl
Darling Buck (cf. A Dictionary of Selected Synonyms in the Principal Indo-European
Languages, 1949); our field & subcategory labels are sometimes adapted from
those of Buck: in our scheme they are brief but globally unique, parentheses may
enclose clues (such as part of speech) to interpreting a label, and verb infinitives
are introduced by 'to'.

Pokorny's etyma, as spelled on this page, have been rendered in
ISO-8859-1. Links from these etyma are available to
Unicode 3,
Unicode 2,
and ISO-8859-1
page variants. [Unicode pages generally render Pokorny's etyma and non-English text
more faithfully than is possible in ISO-8859-1, so they are much preferred.] Links to
PIE etyma will lead into a monolithic tabular listing of same, which opens in a new
window; if available, links are given to separate pages showing etyma and more modern
Indo-European reflexes thereof (i.e. derived words, glossed in English).

N.B. These pages are under construction; as time goes on
corrections may be made, and more links from this semantic subcategory to lexical
entries in it, drawn from Pokorny's etyma, may be added. Finally, derived reflexes
of PIE etyma, in any number of IE languages, may be added at any time.
